Observations

* Some kids (Belle) have to make New Year's Resolutions "to read less books this year". Isabelle reads everything she can get her hands on, and for the most part, is reading in all of her spare time.

*Teenage boys will ALWAYS smile when you comment on how tall they're getting.

*Naps with my little boys are such an anticipated, cozy time!  Sadly, I don't need them as much anymore.

*Four- year-olds sometimes crash during the afternoons without naps with their mothers.  And their solo naps don't look as comfortable.

*Perfect angel little boys can often turn into perfect rascals during sacrament meetings.

*There's always some wise mother after a wild meeting that is sure to put in her two bits about what you should do, say, or how much you should "enjoy this stage" and relax during said meetings.

*Abram has a sense of church fashion that is unparalleled.  We have a record of four weeks straight that I have thought I have had everyone squared away and ready to walk out the door only to find upon arriving that evidently I need to do the final inspection in the car! Abram is the master of finding a way to make his feet more exciting for church:) The first week, he arrived at church with his bare feet shoved into his Sunday shoes. We noticed once we sat down at church, and it looked so funny to us for some reason that we all got the giggles.  That must have encouraged him. The second week he had his every-day tennis shoes on.  The third week he had only one sock on, and the fourth week he had one ankle-length black sock and one long black sock.... he tried to once again go with only one sock and I caught it and told him that he needed to get another sock on.

*I don't know how it works, but babies have a built-in wiring that lets them know when you are particularly exhausted.  That is when their eyes look this way:
....And they seem to stay that alert for an amazingly long time

*My last observation of all is:  Isn't he the cutest baby EVER?!!!

  1. Isabelle is so cute! She reminds me of Talbie with her nose in a book all the time ;). Talbie is planning in coming there for school. She's waiting to hear about scholarships and which track she's assigned. She's excited!!
